Bio: Due to early labor, Evan McCoy was born while in the back of a military class warthog while his mother and father were fixing the turret on Sword Base, earning his nickname of "Gatling Baby", which over the years turned to just Gatling. His parents raised him as a soldier boy, both soldiers among many on Reach, making young Even target practice with toy guns from the age of five. At the young age of 8, his father, Drill Sgt. Cassidy was killed while earlier making a buddle of his cadets jog through the forests of Reach by a stray Guta. Heartbroken his mother never loved again, promising to be widowed rather to marry another man. Young McCoy did what he could to help his mother, always cleaning and tidying up the house to make her job easier. On 2525, at the age of Ten, his mother told him of the covenant, referring them to, 'Monsters,' scaring and also making him promise to join the UNSC marines to help try and stop them. The young boy promised his distressed mother and at the age 16 he enlisted. 
His mother moved to the city of New Alexandira, serving as a medic for the local security police forces there for a living. There in the recruits he met his wife, Martha McCoy, both growing quite fond of each other and developing a relationship under the harsh training. They both worked on patrols around Reach, keeping the peace from drunks settlers, tightening security incase of signs of stray Guta, or shooting off Moa who were eating the crops of farmers among the small hillside settlements. His most noble deed noted while on security detail however was what got him to his rank of Lance corporal, and got him to lead his squad on patrols. On 2535 a insurrectionist operation raided on one of the small towns to try and make a small outpost on it. McCoy's patrol was there at the time, and tried and repel the raid, making a blockade to the town center. His commanding officer made half the squad stay, hold the line, and make sure the citizens stay in doors while the other half scouted out the innies to see their numbers while also evacing any civies away to the town square. McCoy was in charge of this fireteam of five men and women, leading them through the evac farmsteads to look over for any signs of innies or civies via in warthog transport. However as they neared one of the forests located in the town, they were ambushed by machine gun fire from the tree line, forcing them behind the warthog. Improvising quickly, McCoy ordered his men to pop some smoke grenades so they could flank them. The plan proved successful as they made beeline for the trees, quickly firing and eliminating the ambush party there. As they finished their firefight, they scouted up through the forest, looking for any signs of information when the other squad radioed them in, reporting that the Commanding officer was dead by sniper fire and that they were running low on ammo. McCoy told them to hold the line, quickly ordering Martha to stick with him while he sent the rest of his squad back to the warthog to provide support while they routed out the sniper. As they followed the trail to their base hideout, a few hours later they caught site of there hideout, the sniper crouched down and firing at the patrol, his spotter beside him. They both fired on the pair, the spotter dropping instantly under the paired battle rifle and SAW fire, the sniper quickly following afterwards. After this brave act and quick thinking of getting most of the men out alive he was awarded the rank Lance Corporal, afterwards proposing to Martha. In 2535 He was transferred to 305th Scouting Division where he fought off covenant forces on the ground, seeing many a men die of plasma bolt, splatter the walls with grenade, and more. In 2544, after he was promoted to corporal he was offered to join ODST- Ghost Spec. Ops division. He accepted.
